Auschwitz

With minimal budget, Boll tries to span a bow between our presence and the unbelievable past. It is not a precise documentary of history. It is a movie about dying in Auschwitz, how it came that Auschwitz is not only a name but a death symbol, and what children of today know about the backgrounds. In some ways it succeeds, in some ways it fails to fulfill its ambitions, with the succeeding part predominating.
